Set Encoding of File to UTF8 With BOM in Sublime Text 3

Question

When I open a file in Sublime Text 3, at the bottom I have an option to set the Character Encoding as shown in the screenshot.

There is the option to set it to UTF-8 , which after doing some research means UTF-8 Without BOM, but I want to set it to UTF-8 With BOM like shown below:

How can I do this from within ST3?

Answer 1

I can't set "UTF-8 with BOM" in the corner button either, but I can change it from the menu bar.

"File"->"Save with encoding"->"UTF-8 with BOM"

Answer 2

Into Preferences > Settings - Users
File : Preferences.sublime-settings

Write this :

"show_encoding" : true,

It's explain on the release note date 17 December 2013. Build 3059. Official site Sublime Text 3

Answer 3

Into the Preferences > Setting - Default

You will have the next by default:

// Display file encoding in the status bar
    "show_encoding": false

You could change it or like cdesmetz said set your user settings.

Answer 4

By default, Sublime Text set 'UTF8 without BOM', but that wasn't specified.

The only specicified things is 'UTF8 with BOM'.

Hope this help :)
